Constantly conflicting views and discussing the new pattern of commercial vehicle development
With the completion of the last signing ceremony, the forum entered the forum segment, and Ye Shengji, chief engineer of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, acted as the host of this segment. At the meeting, the guests had in-depth discussions and exchanges on the development of commercial vehicle industry in the new era, and delivered keynote speeches from different perspectives.
Among them, Sun Fengchun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor of Beijing University of Technology, and Peng Suping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor of the China University of Mining and Technology, respectively expressed their in-depth views on the two major topics of "thinking about issues related to the development of new energy commercial vehicles" and "research on China's hydrogen energy and fuel cell development strategy".
Sun Fengchun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of Beijing University of Technology
Sun Fengchun believes that the safety of intelligent networking is crucial for commercial vehicles, and is the key to the industrialization, high-quality and sustainable development of intelligent networking new energy commercial vehicles, which must be given high attention. At the same time, batteries with the advantages of long endurance, high power, rapid energy supplement, efficient energy saving, intelligent switch, long life and low cost will become the first choice for future commercial vehicles. In the field of commercial vehicles, the internal combustion engine will not be completely replaced by batteries in the future. It will exist for a long time with a new look.
Peng Suping, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of China University of Mining and Technology
Peng Suping stressed that hydrogen energy plays a key role in achieving the goal of "double carbon". However, when promoting hydrogen energy research, we must comprehensively consider the maturity of technology and closely combine market demand and consumption trend. He pointed out that "green hydrogen" is not the only feasible way. At present, the development of hydrogen energy is facing two major challenges of cost and safety. In order to promote the steady development of China's hydrogen energy industry, we should strive to achieve a stable and reliable supply of hydrogen energy and reduce its cost. At the same time, blue hydrogen, which can absorb carbon dioxide, should also be given equal attention to promote the comprehensive development of China's hydrogen industry.
Xu Changming, Senior Economist of National Information Center
At the meeting, Xu Changming, senior economist of the National Information Center, made a prudent judgment on the overall development trend of China's commercial vehicle market. He believes that from the perspective of industrial development, the demand of China's commercial vehicle market will gradually enter the track of normalization and stable operation, and maintaining moderate growth will become the mainstream trend. At the same time, he also pointed out that the export prospect of commercial vehicles in the international market still has broad space. In addition, new energy commercial vehicles also have development potential that cannot be ignored.

At this forum, Li Shaohua specifically pointed out that international cooperation is an important way for the global development of commercial vehicles. Commercial vehicle enterprises should seize the opportunities and demonstration effects of more overseas demand brought by initiatives such as the "Belt and Road" initiative, actively participate in international competition and cooperation, and expand the development space of the commercial vehicle industry. Secondly, we should promote the export and localization cooperation of commercial vehicle products, drive the supply chain to go global, and enhance the international influence of China's commercial vehicle brands. Finally, it is also necessary to form industry synergy, strengthen cooperation with international organizations, participate in the formulation of technology and trade rules, and promote the global development of the commercial vehicle industry.
